Day 3.2

WU:
Dyn stretch
Band FP w/ ER: doubled micro x20x2
SA band cross body fly: quad micro x6, 15x2
Band march x2m

A Push
A1. DB banded press (8-10) (db vs band wrapped behind back)
1. 52.5 per hand vs pro light x10
2. “ “ x10
3. “ “ x10
4. “ “x10

A2. Banded press (8-10, 2s hold @ top)
1. Pro light x10
2. “ “ x10
3. “ “ x10
4. “ “8

A3. Db press (bottom half only) (AMRAP)
1. 52.5x20
2. “ “ x10
3. “ “ x10
4. “ “6

Ext wrist roller:
52.5 x 1 length - too heavy, cheated these.
25 x 1 length
20x1 length

B Legs

B1. Heel elevated banded goblet db squat (as close to platz stance as my hips allow me to be) (bfr) (8-10, 2s pause @ bottom)
1. 52.5lb x20 (short mm around knees)
2. “ “ x20

B2. Chaos back squats (8-10)
1. Xbar + 52.5 each side x10 - picking this off the floor and getting it onto my back was the most max effort part of this workout lol.
2. “ “ x10 - started with it laying on the couch this time - made it a tad easier to get into position. Not sure if these are gonna work either. May might have to try and rig up a set up to get the dbs wider than the verical posts on the xbar then just do zerchers.

B3. Heel elevated bottom 1/2 BW sq (2s pause @ bottom) (short mm band around knees) (AMRAP)
1. Bw x15
2. Bw x15

Would’ve liked to get through 3 rounds but effing with the back squats in combo with all the reps (90 reps right there) killed the clock.

C Pull
C1. Db strict wall curl (8-10, 2s @ top)
1. 22.5 x10

C2. Db wall lean curl (AMRAP, bottom half)
1. 22.5 x x10 (did full reps - forgot it was a bottom half only amrap)

C3. Db pronated curl (8-10, 2s @ top)
1. 20x10

C4. Band hammer curl (AMRAP, fast) (1 arm at a time)
1. Mini x20 each arm

D. Push
D1. Extended range pushup (AMRAP)
Bw x27

D2. Push up (AMRAP)
Bw x5

D3. Knee pupushupsh up (AMRAP)
Bw x5

Beat 1.1 by 2 extended range pushups.

D4. Doorway stretch x30s

Only did 1 set of the curl sequence and then quickly knocked out the mechanical drop set. Was running low on time d/t a phone call i had to be on.

Just doing what I can. Figure i might as well try to stimulate some hypertrophy during this time since I have (generally) nothing but time to do these workouts, eat, and job search. It would be an opportune time to be more diligent with my prehab work too (dead bug, bird dog, side plank) but one step at a time I suppose.

Day 1.3

Dyn stretch
Band PA: MM x20x2
Band dead bug: Mm x8 each leg x2
Bw lunge: bw x8 each
Band march: 2m

A. Legs
A1. Chaos Rev lunge (x8-10)
1. Xbar + 40 each side x8 each leg
A2. RFESS Contral load Death set: (10-8-6-4-2 w/o rest b/t legs)
1. 20 lb contral x10/8/6/4/2

Only 1 round.

B Pull
B1. Single arm Spud pulley high row: (x8-10 w/ 2ct hold)
(I just looped it through my suspension trainer, wasnt perfect but it was better than anything else I had been doing for rows)
Rd 1. 87.5 x10 —> had a 25 & 10lb plate + 52.5 db
Rd 2. Tried 80 lbs with just plates but this **** just wasn’t working out. The pulley didnt hang high enough off of the suspension trainer. Did maybe 3 **** reps then just rowed the pin strap x10.

B2. Banded seated db shrug: (x8-10 w/ 2 ct hold)
Rd 1. 52.5 + MM under feet x10
Rd 2. Skip

B3. Banded DB retraction RDLs: (AMRAP w/ 2ct hold)
Rd 1. Avg band GM + 52.5 per hand x15 —> avg only GM x10
Rd 2. Skip

Just got pissed off with back training and said **** it and went to triceps. Then did 100 band pull aparts at the end for something. Not gonna replace a row variation but im running out of ideas. Going to try 1 arm db rows vs a band next time this comes around but if that doesnt work im just going to do inverted rows and quit trying to screw around trying to find something better.

C. Push
step back ext (x8-10) (2ct lockout)
Doubled mini x10x2

Banded OHD ext (AMRAP)
MM choked x25x2

Looped rear delt fly: x20x2
Band PA: x30x2

My head wasnt into this one at all today. Missing regular training a good bit today. Next week is a new week. Planning on going on a nice hike tomorrow so likely wont do a home workout.

Fiancé ended up waking up with a bad headache yesterday that lasted until late afternoon, so we didnt end up going on the hike. Ive done a couple sets of 20 on suspension trainer ring row pulls and pallofs vs a MM today. Will likely do a few more sets of each before today is over and done with, but nothing worth logging specifically.

Wu:
Dyn stretch
Inverted row: x20
Overhead press: 20x20
Band march: 2m

A Pull
A1. Banded pullover (8-10, 2s hold @ side)
1. Choked MM x10
2. “ “ x10
3. “ “ x10

A2. Db pullover (8-10, 2s hold @ bottom)
1. 52.5 vs doubled mini x10
2. “ “ x10
3. “ “ x10

A3. BO Unil Cross body Band row (8-10, 2s hold @ contraction)
1. Pro Light x10
2. Pro light x10

A4. Band high row (AMRAP)

2. “ “ x20
3. “ “ x15

B. Push
B1. Standing Arnold press (x8-15, 2s hold @ bottom)
1. 52.5 x12
2. 52.5 x10

B2. Band rear delt fly (8-10, top half, 2s hold @ top)
1. Looped mini x15
2. “ “ x15

B3. DB Laterals (AMRAP, top half, 2s hole @ top) (unil, leaning w/ off hand holding susp strap)
1. 15/10 x12
2. “ “ x15

B4. Death Swimmer dropset (AMSAP)
1. Hands only x15

C. Legs
C1. Banded Zercher GM (band around hip) (8-10)
WU: xbarx x10, xbar + 50
Rd 1. Vs pro avg & Xbar + 100 x10
Rd 2. Vs avg w/ Xbar + 100 x8 - these aint gonna work. The f’ing weight slides down my arm even with the yoke xbar having athletic tape on it. Which as you may be able to imagine feels like slow death as it is just sliding down your arm ripping out arm hairs cm after cm. Even when i wear a long sleeve hoodie it still slides. I’m thinking im about to give up on “heavyish” leg training except for BSSs and just do high rep band GMs, ham curls, BFR goblet squats. Half of the frustration i am getting from this type of training is simply because I’m trying to force a square block in a round hole.

C2. DB Thrust (double banded) (20, 2s at top) (double banded = band around knees and one looped over hips anchored down by my feet)
Rd 1. Short Mm + micro x20
Rd 2. Short Mm + mini x20

C3. Frog thruster (AMRAP)
Rd 1. x20
Rd 2. x20

Got something in. Not as much as i woudve liked but something is better than nothing. Motivation dissipating.

I had the realization years back that I actually don’t really like training legs much at all - I just enjoy heavy lifting. Leg development as a byproduct of squats, deadlifts and strongman work is great, but I never want to be a bodybuilder doing lots of machines & unilateral volume.

It sucks so much ass. Squats used to be my favorite lift when I was doing conjugate, now (as I lay on the ground with cramping hamstrings) it is my least favorite day.

Put me in the same camp as you hyde. I pretty much despise bb style leg work (eg. Machine curls, machine extns). If i cant do a barbell deadlift variation, heavy DB RDL, or some squat variety training is going to get very stale very quickly. I know im not going to enjoy the layout i laid out above but it is kinda just what im going to have to try if i want to give my legs any stimulus at all.

Have your lady steer the car while you do car pushes walking both forwards and back... WINNING!!!

Try to dead lift your car by the bumper or trailer hitch... max effort for 5 seconds x 10 efforts equals a set, or one 1 minute effort equals a set.

Max Effort pushes with your back up against your car / truck while in park... same thing as above.

Put your lady on your shoulders and squat.

I always forget about pushing the car! You’d make Josh Bryant proud with that one, and it’s fun to do together and inherently doesn’t take too long.

There is a parking lot down the road that i doubt will be in use at all for the next month. Wonder if i can talk her into listening to a podcast or something while I push her around the parking lot . Thats love.

Fiance and I went to get an outside parking lot workout in today. It was mentally extremely refreshing.

WU at home.
Dead bug: vs pro light x8 per leg
Band GM: pro Light x20x2
Band PA: mini x20x2
Band Marcg: short MM x10 per leg x2

•10m timed Car push (~3,000 lb) (walked out 40 paces after I was done which is typically very close to 1 yd for me)
Down (fw) x5
Back (bw) x4

Legs were numb.

•Zercher carry into Yoke “Anderson”squat
185 x40 yd d&b —> 185x10 after d&b
235x40yd d&b —> 235x10 “ “
(+ belt, cut 10 yds off as the last 10 yds was on a bit of a slant)
255x30 yd x2 —> 255x10 “ “

•Zercher hold —> chaos farmer carry —> belted yoke “anderson” squat

185x30s —> 45 holding Mm and mini looped through x30 yd each hand —> 345x8

185x30s —> “ “ —> 345x6

(Using spud tri pulley for A1-3)
A1. Facepull: 35x20x2, 45x20
A2. Extension: 35x15x2, 45x15
A3. Pallof: 35x10s/5sx3, 25x10/5x3 (x2)
A4. Chaos farmers walk: same as above x3

Edit:
Anti ext pallof: 25lb x10s straight into standing ab crunch x20 then straight back to another 10s of pallofs. Did that for a total of 3 sets of pallofs and 3x20 ab crunch with the last set doing a cross crunch (l elbow to r knee, vice versa x10 each direction). Didnt use enough weight for the crunches to be difficult but it was better than nothing. Ill add weight next time, this was more experimental than anything.

If i can reward myself with a training day like this every Saturday it will do a fuk ton for my ability to make myself do the **** at home during the week.

(Ipsilateral load)

Rd 1. 20 x 10/8/6/4/2 per leg - micro pulling fw for R leg as working leg (realized after the fact i fukked this up - i have a tendency to rotate L posterior when my R leg is working so I was trying to PNF it but i did the opposite of what I should have done. I cant band behind the door which is what needed to be done to “feed the dysfunction” so I decided to have the band anterior when my L leg as the working leg as that should activate the L oblique with the band on my R trying to pull my R side fw...i think).

Rd 2. 30 x 10/8/6/4/2 —> used the band for 10 & 8, after that i just wanted to finish the last 14 reps.

Note:
1. BSS - Can refer to this article (Jordan Shallow’s elitefts article on contra- vs ipsilateral BSS loading, the link wont open for me rn) if youre curious as to why I went Ipsilateral vs contralateral loading (although, less than a month before that article was published Mike Reinold came out with this one (https://mikereinold.com/the-effect-of-ipsilateral-and-contralateral-loading-on-muscle-activity-during-the-lunge/)saying it didnt make a difference in glut med activation for split squats, only in the walking lunge, so idk). Im going to do contralateral on day 3 when i do them for sets of 8-10.

Gonna DIY a farmer’s handle tomorrow I think. 12” galvanized pipe with two clothes line hooks drilled through with chain to suspend the weight by. Gonna go check out supplies tomorrow and if its <20-25$ ill do it. Just want one for suitcase holds and carries for now.

Clint Darden had old oxygen tanks welded for his first farmer’s implements. If you can dream it, it’ll probably work, right?

Post up some pics o whatever you come up with. I would imagine farmers carries off of chains would be extremely challenging due to all the extra stabilization required with the weights moving around more.

So, I went with pre-cut PVC for the handle instead. Definitely nowhere near the tensile strength of Steel but this was much cheaper and I wanted to test it out first. I bought both 1-1/2” and 2” PVC so this will work as some true grip work too. The best part about the setup that I (sort of came up with, partially ripped off an online idea) ended up with is that it has essentially doubled the amount of dbs weight I can do single arm movements with. I can now do DB rows up to 105lb.

IMG_6865.JPG


The PVC cost me 5$ for 2 ft of the 2” & 4$ for 2 ft of the 1-1/2, chain was 5$ for the 3 ft, and the clothes line hooks were $3.50 for the two. So all in all I just got a single farmers handle for suitcase carries as well as increased the range of weights i can do rows with by 52.5lbs all for $17.50. If you didnt buy one or the other of the PVCs itd cost someone just over 10$ to do this.

I just cut the pvc into a 9” chunk for the handle, drilled two holes 1-1/4” from the edge on both sides, twisted the clothes hanger hooks through, and voila - done.

I like it! How close to the ground does it hang when holding it for a suitcase carry and do the weights hit your leg when you walk with it?

Distance from the ground is adjustable depending on how many chain links from the end you hook the chain in, but I’ll have a better idea tomorrow. If the weather is decent im gonna head over to the empty parking lot again.

I absolutely couldn’t do farmers with that db setup...i plan to hang plates with chain when I do farmers. The dbs will pretty much be just for rows (at this point I haven’t thought of anything else, but havent done a ton of thought on it either).

70lb x2 d&bs straight.

So there is an issue with the plates rubbing up against my lower leg occasionally. I doubt i could load 45lb plates as id obviously expect that to get worse with the width of the plate. The plates naturally are wantinf to dangle perpendicular to the direction that im walking, so if i could figure out a way to get them to hang parallel (other than rotating my hand to have the handle be perpendicular which does get them to dangle parallel and help a little, but then the top of the bolt sticking out of the top of the handle rubs up against my lateral thigh) then it mat not be as much of an issue at all.

The handle worked great for the rows though. Edit: also used them for single leg RDLs and they worked well there too.

I've had to use 2 chains for doing farmers/suitcase carries. One chain through the 45s and another chain going through my handle. I'm not sure if this helps you at all. It still sways, just not as bad.

Yah. Thatd definitely help if I had whatever the name of that hardware is you’re using to connect the two chains. I have the spare chain so if i ordered those on amazon id be set.

Now if only you could find something thicker to lay on for the yoke press

Looks like a cool day!

Had that thought yesterday while doing the exercise...outside of building something or buying a bench i dont know what id use. I dont trust the plastic coolers I own to be sturdy enough.

I was thinking like a board with a mat over it, just something to add a few inches. Or a board on top of an old tire or two.

Would be ideal. Maybe when I get back to indiana I can snag some of my Dad’s spare wood if he hasn’t thrown it out yet. Or I could just buy a cheap ass barbell.

Anyone know of any discount codes for SpudInc? MIGHT buy a sled...not positive though.

Have you seen EFS’s new power quad prowler? I think that’s what it’s called. Converts to squat stands, bench rack, and has a dip and chin tower attachment, and all breaks down to fit in a vehicle trunk or bed so you can take it to the park or what have you. It’s $1,100 with all the options, but it’s an awesome all-in-one portable home gym option.

Seems friggin awesome and I’m definitely going to go look at it right now but 1.1k is way out of the budget at this moment.
